Pension and Benefits Planning

Overview

As employers it is necessary to design attractive employment packages which can improve employees' quality of life, reward continued employment, promote loyalty and even distribute financial rewards. This is not always an easy task, as the reward system sought after is one which is equitable for both organisation and employee. Indirect compensation allows us to strike that balance and is therefore a crucial component of any good benefits package. There are many types of indirect compensation, such as: educational reimbursement, travel or transportation, health and wellness, recreation, family, savings etc. Compensation and benefits affect the productivity and happiness of employees, as well as the ability of an organisation to effectively execute its business plan.

This workshop focuses on indirect compensation of employees in an organisation; more specifically referred to as Pension and Benefits, and will introduce you to the key pieces of legislation governing pension and mandatory benefits in Trinidad and Tobago.
